<p>Well, I'm working with a videographer to make my own videos soon. Maybe my videos will help your game as well. lol</p>
<p>I do agree with Coach V that ideas need to be built up in a progression to make sense to the common player.</p>
<p>I write out all my responses. After all, I have a Master's in Writing. :)</p>
<p>Well, private message me or just send me the name of your website. I haven't been here as regularly as I should. I lead a complicated life. ;-)</p>

<p>Cool! Great minds think alike, Tim. ;) </p>

<p>I checked out blog.tennisspeed.com! Great points, and I love how thorough the responses are. Did you write these?</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you liked that video, I'd love to add you to my email list. I send out 1 or 2 a week, and it's usually a funny/interesting/relevant story along with a quick video to help your game! </p>

<p>Thanks for your feedback Coach! My audience is definitely people who have played. It's not tailored to people who are brand new to the sport. That being said, I will definitely attempt to create more of a learning experience for everyone. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Have a great day!</p>

<p>i give the video a 45 out of a 100. Unless you are familiar with tennis knowledge the average person will not see or understand what you mean. you must create a learning experience. but for those of us who play its a nice perspective which you point out.</p>

<p>Interesting you mention concave and convex because those are the words I think about when varying the backswing. I think geometrically about how to angle the prep, either forehand or one handed backhand. Check out blog.tennisspeed.com</p>

<p>Thanks Tim! I'm glad you liked the video. What else would help your game out? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Actually you can flatten it out and STILL stay on the 45 by expanding OUT on the 45 (going concave in your arm to convex). If you want more topspin, you can actually go vertically up on the 45. Look at Nadal, when he hits his forehand, he really travels up the "backside" of the 45 degree angle (that's why his finish goes "up" and when he can't stay on the 45 any longer, it goes around his head.…</p>

<p>Yeah I do like the idea of 45 degrees being the basic swingpath. And if you wish to flatten out the stroke for the return or the passing shot, lower the swingpath angle. Have you read the tennisspeed blog?</p>
